The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to announce A Rose Is, an expansive group exhibition that examines the representational ubiquity and multivalent meaning of the rose throughout art history and popular culture. Drawing inspiration from Cy Twombly’s monumental, four-part painting The Rose III (2008), the exhibition takes this work as its thematic core for the way it situates the rose—both physically and figuratively—as an icon of beauty, enticement, excess and abjection, all at once.
